AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing harvesting machinery has a complex and heavy harvesting end structure, resulting in low harvesting accuracy and easy damage to the fruit, making it difficult to meet the requirements of damage-free harvesting.

Method used

The picking actuator, which adopts a single-drive structure, synchronously controls the movement of the clamping and receiving part and the cutting part through a single drive component, achieving precise positioning, stable grip and efficient cutting of the fruit, while reducing structural complexity and weight.

Benefits of technology

It improves harvesting efficiency, reduces fruit damage rate, enhances harvesting precision, and features a lightweight design, making it suitable for large-scale planting scenarios such as orchards and vegetable gardens.

Abstract

This invention discloses a harvesting actuator, relating to the field of fruit harvesting technology. The harvesting actuator includes a base, a clamping and receiving portion, a shearing assembly, and a driving assembly. The base has a harvesting end in a first direction, with a harvesting area formed at the front of the harvesting end. The clamping and receiving portion is rotatably mounted on the downward-facing end of the base, with its free end located at the front of the harvesting end. The shearing assembly is mounted on the upward-facing end of the base, with its shearing end at least partially extending into the harvesting area. The shearing assembly has a closed state and an open state. The driving assembly is mounted on the base and has a movable portion that moves vertically. In this invention, the clamping and receiving portion and the shearing assembly are driven by a single driving structure. Compared to traditional multi-drive structures, this provides higher harvesting efficiency and a more compact overall structure, effectively reducing the overall weight of the harvesting end.
